One interesting note that I want to add in about the A1C that was useful in my instance is that there are some people whose red blood cells are more sticky, which means that their red blood cells hang around a lot longer than maybe other individuals.

And I don't know what percentage of the population it is, but it's a smaller percentage of the population, maybe under 20.

Mm-hmm.

I always had a really good CGM report.

I'm an early investor in levels.

I'm a huge fan of the company.

And I always had... Once I got...

well aware of this world of blood sugar and started looking at things like fasting insulin to also fact check and also looking at A1C, I would always see like, okay, great.

As I'm making these changes and not being on the rollercoaster of blood sugar, but having more of a natural response, which partly was diet for me, but also as somebody who was a skinny fat vegan for many years, right.

And under muscled.

Yeah.

Adding about eight pounds of muscle was a huge difference for me.

All of a sudden, I could actually even eat a little more carbohydrates, and I saw my fasting insulin improve.

That was there.

Anyways, but I always saw that my A1C is a little high, so I digged into it a little bit, and then I found out from my cardiologist and a few other people that some people-

They have a little bit more sticky red blood cells.

It sticks around.

So if you're somebody that feels like, hey, I've been doing a lot of these things right, which was a few of our podcast listeners that emailed me after hearing my story.

My A1C is still a little high.

Make sure you dig into it a little bit deeper.
